Now this is an interesting homemade saxophone. Apparently this player made the instrument himself.<\/p>\n

According to Google’s translation program, this is what the caption of the photo says:<\/p>\n

He even creates his own instruments and sound of the sax is quite similar to the original (at least for lay people).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The original Portuguese goes like this:<\/p>\n

Ele mesmo que cria os pr\u00f3prios instrumentos e o som do sax \u00e9 bem semelhante ao original (pelo menos para leigos).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When you look at this photo in its original size<\/a>, you can see that the player is using an alto sax mouthpiece, with a Rovner Light ligature. I wonder what this horn is made of? Some kind of plastic I presume. I’m also guessing the instrument would use a type of recorder fingering, but perhaps I’m wrong on both counts.<\/p>\n

Something that probably aids in the horn’s ability to produce a saxophone-like sound, are the instrument’s interior dimensions. The inventor has created an horn with a conical bore.<\/p>\n
